    Useful apps and utilities

    Just thought it might be worth adding your favourite applications and utilities that you use regularly, but maybe aren't that familiar to a lot of other people. It goes without saying, please do add anything illegal, silly or inappropriate. It would be useful to get a little list going that we...

    2018 Porsche GT2 RS

    Managed to get up close and sit in this beauty over the weekend. ? In the confines of the garage, firing it up sounded like it was ripping Planet Earth a new arsehole. Raw, loud, raspy and very overpowering. It's got a multitude of options on the extras list, which is scary when the base price...

    Wreckfest

    Having made a total (of, iirc?) 1,611 days in alpha - Wreckfest finally got its release day. There was a large update yesterday, which I've yet to try it - though the beta version before was great in itself. The driving mechanics are very simple - far more Destruction Derby than anything...

    Prey - Mooncrash

    I hadn't heard about this DLC being released? @SharkyUK - probably one for you mate!

    Post Scriptum

    Looking quite good so far - even with the slightly ropey infantry animation. Naturally it won't have the player base of the upcoming Battlefield V, but from what I've seen - I'd much rather invest some time in this. http://postscriptumgame.com/

    Two Point Hospital

    It's been knocking about in the background for a couple of months, but the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital is looking quite good. I wonder if they will cover more recent medical treatments such as breast augmentation and lip fillers??

    Speaker wire for surround sound

    Chaps, Just after some feedback regarding cabling for a 5.1 setup for the TV. I've bought a 2nd system over the weekend and tested it, which works fine. Although I had some longer cables with it, I might need just a little longer on the other three. The sub connects all the satellite speakers...

    Sniper Elite 4

    This has been a bit of a turnaround game for me. Despite my dislike of stealth-type games, I've been a fan of all of the previous titles in the series and played them all through to completion. When I realised that SE4 was set in WW2 Italy, it was a bit of disappointment to be honest. That...

    The ‘almost finished’ thread....

    I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person here who has several recent games that are almost, yet not quite finished. Is it because you’ve switched to something else? Maybe picked up the newer sequel of the game in question and you’ve giving up on the original? Maybe the part you’re on was just...

    WRC 2 Fiesta R5 testing @ Greystoke, Cumbria

    Shelley and I were lucky enough to get an invite from our nephew Gus Greensmith to have a passenger ride in a Fiesta R5. We got up to the Greystoke area early yesterday and was presented with a very focused M-Sport setup, consisting of Gus's car and another - along with engineers, mechanics and...

    Subnautica

    Surprised there's no thread about this already - having been in alpha and beta release for quite some time. https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/ Essentially its a survival game - which traditionally, I'm a little wary of. The frustrations of trying to do XYZ while the issues of ABC are still...

    Basic CAD workstation advice?

    Chaps, At one of our production sites, we're looking into buying a new PC that's sole focus is on using SolidWorks 3D CAD. It will be used for the designs of various tooling and machinery bits - allowing the engineers to make amendments and suggestions on, etc. This naturally points me to the...

    Audio file converter?

    Chaps, Have you any suggestions for converting standard WAV files to low-spec ULAW format, for use with phone systems? I used to have an app that did it really well, but it's been a while since I used it and can't recall what its called. I don't mind paying for it either - it doesn't have to...

    M-Sport service park - Welsh Rally 2017

    Managed to get a couple of passes into the M-Sport section at Deeside over the weekend - mainly to support my nephew in WRC2 (Gus Greensmith) and to get some idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Inside the hospitality place... Ogier's service bay... Much effort needed to transplant...

    Divinity : Original Sin 2

    Took a punt on this due to the seemingly great reviews on Metacritic.... http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/divinity-original-sin-ii More interested in the fact that there’s local co-op (yes Blizzard, PC players want this feature too) and I don’t have to team up with randomers online.

    Contacting someone regarding Google maps photos?

    Not sure if it's possible - I did have a quick look yesterday. But there's a couple of pictures on Google Maps that I'm interested in knowing a bit more about and want to contact the picture taker. The images state July 2017 as an upload date as well, so they are clearly very recent. Any...

    Sudden Strike 4

    Took a punt on this, even though it's not released until next Friday. Being a fan of the Company of Heroes franchise, this looks to be right up my street. Interestingly, it's on consoles too. Well, at least the PS4 - not sure about the XBox One.

    Powerflex handling pack?

    Has anyone got any experience of the full Powerflex handling pack? https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Powerflex+Handling+Pack/11789.html Is it over-priced/not much use? Or really worth the money for refreshing the tired bushes? Cheers, D.

    Dweamy RX-7

    I would love this. No doubt when things started to go wrong, it would make the mortgage on a 10-bedroom mansion seem cheap. But - just to have it until then! :blush...

    BG182 once over

    Knowing that yesterday was overcast and warm, I thought it was a good opportunity to give the 182 some cleaning TLC. It hadn't seen the Porta Cable in probably a good 5+ years, so it was in desperate need of it. There are still some tar deposits on it - the clay bar ended up being disgusting...
